Kale Sausage Pasta with Sage & Oil

This recipe is just TOO good. It’s simple and quick to make. It’s also one to impress! It includes some greens, proteins, herbs and healthy fats so you will feel super satiated after this meal!

The sausages are homemade, but you can use any lean sausage options, such as turkey, veal or lamb. I also always add leafy greens to most all pasta dishes to ramp up the nutritional value, so thought to add Kale as I find it tastes delicious with sausage. A fresh herb is a must, this time around I used sage and almost forgot how much I LOVE IT! But feel free to use any herb you have on hand.
